Jack, a 12-year-old boy, has decided to do something remarkable. Jack is raising money to purchase Snuggies for children being treated for cancer. Jack himself is undergoing cancer treatment at a children's hospital. He requested a Snuggie from his parents. At first, his mom did not understand why Jack would want a blanket with sleeves. Then, he explained that he gets cold during his treatments and cannot use his arms well when they are tucked under a blanket. Wearing a Snuggie during his uncomfortable treatments keeps him warm and allows him to play video games and surf the Internet. Jack wants all of the children being treated for cancer at his hospital to have a Snuggie of their own. He has collected over $1,000, so far. Also, the company that makes Snuggie has donated 100 of the sleeved blankets. Jack is confident that he will be able to get Snuggies for the estimated 1,000 young cancer patients at his hospital.
